It’s a Tuesday morning, you’re right here on the Brekkie Club online and also on the free Westbrimmer radio app. It’s time now to do a check in with our 12 week challenge and we live life with Loz. Good morning Loz. It’s big times isn’t it? Hurrah! Yeah I’m excited and coming off the back of Yip Switch show there may have been a couple of hard truths, there may have been, I don’t know, some fairy floss, some fudge, maybe even a Dagwood dog involved. Yeah more!
00:29
I’m gonna sit down for this one. Well, no, listen, so we started okay. So Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday was alright. We did all the meals that we were supposed to do and then that was fine. Thursday night, everything fell off the bandwagon because I went to go do bump in and bits and pieces there for the Ipswich show. Then we spent the entire weekend out at the Ipswich show.
00:58
and it fell apart from there. So you prepped all your food and then you went to the Ipsies show and so wasn’t the point of prepping the food so that you had food at Ipsies show? Well, so we didn’t actually prep all the food. So we didn’t get a chance to prep all the food. Okay, but you prepped most of it, which was great. Yeah, yeah, well that’s what I thought and so that’s my win. So how’d you go with Adrian?
01:24
Yeah, Damo, what did Adrian say about that? Um, Adrian and I have an understanding, and I’m very appreciative of the support that he gives me. He told me to do a couple of laps around the lounge room. He was impressed that I left the potato chips alone this week and didn’t touch one single bag of them. And he was also impressed that when I was out at the… Yeah, thank you. And also, he was impressed that out in the show, I didn’t have, like…
01:54
another person we will not mention who had two Dagwood dogs. I had a steak sandwich. We won’t mention about this person, but let’s mention this person. That was a very political answer. You should get into politics. That’s a great, very matter of fact. Stick with the radio. I hosted the forums for the Ipswich Council election. That was enough. That’s as close as I want to get. That’s as close to politics as you’re getting. So what can we learn from this?
02:23
Experienced person that we won’t know Well, we can definitely learn to prep our food which is going to be an issue this week because it’s already Monday No preps been done. So we’re already behind the eight ball, but I have said to Adrian and I’ve set myself a goal. We are going to do it at least once this week, you know We’re not going to fall off the bandwagon. We’re not gonna you know, we’re actually going to do it once properly You say you can do it a couple of times a week. So
02:52
If prepping an entire week’s worth of food, a good job for a couple of blokes, then break it up into manageable things. So we have some people that they are absolutely frightened of meal prep. The whole idea makes them run for the hills. I mean, and if they ran for the hills, that would be okay. I think it’s a step counter. But also- Good point. But also meal prepping, it’s about having the things in your house that you think could be useful. So-
03:20
A meal prep could be as simple as night before work, you grab a container, you’ve already bought the things that you need, you’ve kind of put that with that with that and then you’ve got yourself something ready. So example, making yourself a wrap for lunch. Wraps are okay, like if we’re to talk about the scale of one to ten, obviously it’s within sort of within the framework but not quite. Having a wrap.
03:43
is better than having a dog with dog, would you agree? Yes. I would, yes. In the moment, in the moment, okay, well what would be the harm minimization strategy I can apply? Grab yourself like some really nice low carb wraps, even gluten free ones, if that’s what you like, and having some things like tomatoes, spinach, carrots, if you needed to, onion, capsicum, and then making sure you got your protein. So go buy what I call the bachelor’s handbag. They’re the pre-cooked.
04:12
from Woolies because you only see bachelors walking out the door.
04:19
So get yourself a couple of bachelor handbags. And it’s good, eh? It’s good. You’ll never unknow that now. Grab yourself a couple of bachelor handbags or mullies or coles, whatever your preference is. And then you set, you don’t have to do any cooking. Your meal prep’s done. Yeah, sure, it might cost you a little bit more, but it’s convenient. And you put a bunch of chook on there, you know, 120 grams of chicken and you know, ready to rock and roll.
04:47
Can you see how like that doesn’t take a lot of prep? Absolutely not. You can even batch make those. So I’ve had some clients make wraps in a row because they might eat too wrapped. So someone like Damo might need to eat too wrapped, you know, to keep himself feeling not hungry. So you know, if you made a few extra ones, then at least you’ve got two there for lunch and you know you’ve got your lunch time and it’s really healthy. See how much easier that is than thinking, oh my gosh, I’m going to do a whole week of meal prep.
05:15
I don’t meal prep. I have the food in my fridge that I know I’m going to need. Like for breakfast, if you don’t mind me sharing because it’s really easy. I buy the pouches of egg whites and I have eggs. So what I’ll do is in a bowl and a bit of egg white, mix it up in a bowl like make it all frothy and then cook that in the pan. I chuck in spinach, I chuck in onion, I chuck in tomatoes, maybe capsicum if I’ve got some, sometimes mushrooms, really low carb. And I do like an omelette. For lunch, I’ll grab…
05:45
making sure like I’ve got like a good tin of tuna, I might chuck some dressing through it that I know is gonna be really nice. So like if I’ve got the tuna with olive oil, I might stick some herbs in it and I’ll mix that in through with some leftover dinner maybe. So tuna with vegetables, so I might even do myself up some green Chinese veggies like some bok choy, some bok choy and some mushy and some onion and just chuck that in there. So I’ve got like some tuna
06:14
because I don’t really know what you call that. And then for dinner, I might have myself some mince, some tomato sauce that goes through it, like a pasta sauce, and chuck in all my veggies into that. So, you know, it’s still having the same healthy food. I’m not having to go buy extra, extra veggies. You know what I mean? Like it’s the same veggie pretty much throughout the day. Some are cooked, some are raw. So.
06:40
And then in between I’ll have some protein snacks. So I might have a protein bar, might have like a protein shake. I might have a protein water, I might have a protein coffee. So I always have five hits of protein throughout the day. And see how simple that was? And there is a couple of prep involved in that. And I might make up a batch of that mint. And I might even have mints for breakfast. Fantastic, all right. Well, you’ve given me some ideas and some inspiration.
07:07
